'HE COULD HAVE WIPED US OUT'

'HE MADE A JOKE'

Anna was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in April 2016 and despite being confined to a wheelchair, she managed to carry out gruelling challenges to raise money for charity – including a parachute drop, Ben Nevis climb and an Ironman endurance race.

She continually spoke of returning to work to celebrate the RAF 100 Anniversary in 2018.
Anna’s sister Katie Irwin said: “she fought the biggest battle of her life until the very last moment. I could not have wished for a better big sister, she has made me and everyone that knew her, so very, very proud.”
